Sponsoring a pet.

We love when we can sponsor pets as this helps them get adopted! Sponsoring covers a pets adoption fee, or spay/neuter costs, or sometimes both!

Shelter needs.

Although the Shelter is funded by the City of Cookeville and Putnam County, donations are still needed as the needs of our animals sometimes exceeds what tax dollars can afford. This could be a washing machine to launder towels for the animals or for last minute, emergency items that need to be taken care of promptly. This sometimes even means buying food for our animals when we have a peak number of animals entering the facility!

Education initiatives.

We believe in educating our community to understand how to properly care for animals, how to maintain animal population through spay/neuter programs, and how to keep animals in loving homes instead of having to live out their days at the Shelter!
